Locating Opportunities

Locating employment opportunities is your next challenge, especially given the existence of a large and hidden job market (jobs that are under-advertised and tend to be filled by word of mouth). Personal contacts will be very important at this stage. If you don't have any personal contacts then make them! Remember that informational interviewing can serve as part of the networking process. Tell everyone you know about your job interests, not just those already in your future profession. A family member or friend may not be able to help you directly but may know someone who can. To supplement your own network, we have assembled a few lists to get you started in identifying organizations that have been open to hiring Ph.D.s.
